** Tufty - too hot off the mark! I was in the process of creating the page when you changed the link. The page is here: http://elinux.org/MGS_Computing_Society_page.

*That's ok, glad you're enjoying using the wiki. The page title was just following a convention (RPi_Name_Of_Page), and unfortunately doesn't create a subtopic.
